First RF cable characterization reference/bootstrap may conceal an instrument loop; no rf-test requirement used to manufacture this cable. No complete recipe or target-level capability approval.

Making outline

Make a coaxial cable and connector assembly for defined RF reference planes using independently made controlled-geometry RF coaxial connectors; Define one coax conductor/dielectric geometry. Form sleeve and surrounding return shield, jacket and physical terminations. Verify geometry and independent electrical response before using as test connection.
Detailed procedure and acceptance remain unresearched.

What remains unresolved

First RF cable characterization reference/bootstrap may conceal an instrument loop; no rf-test requirement used to manufacture this cable.
Full inventory, quantities, losses, capability compatibility and acceptance remain unreviewed.
Current memory-first method needs source and compatibility review.
